General Information
The INMP is a non-profit organisation since 1992, and associated with the UN-DPI in New York. It has a general coordinator, 10 Executive Board and 12 Advisory Committee members. Its secretariat (since 2010) is maintained by one part-timer. The annual budget consists of membership fees from some 80 members, plus donations made by corporate sponsors. Scholarships have stopped. Additional funding is project-based, which for 2013-2015 includes Hague projects (international symposium and travelling exhibition for Peace Palace centenary) with partners Carnegie Foundation, the municipality, and local museums. We are also partner in a European Peace Trail project with 6 other cities and funding from the Education and Culture - Lifelong Learning Programme. Other main activities include international conferences of museums for peace (Korea, 2014), publications and the exchange of travelling exhibitions (A Picture for Peace as most recent), mainly between network members, but with cooperation of other Hague NGOs and museums.
Mission and Objectives

The mission of the INMP is to contribute to world peace by means of promoting and enhancing the work of museums for peace. The network aims to reach this mission by: - creating links between peace museums, related institutions and individuals worldwide - organising international conferences and other activities - releasing publications in the form of books, articles and newsletters - encouraging the exchange of information, material and exhibitions - setting up joint exhibitions to spread know-how - encouraging the creation of more peace museums in other parts of the world The INMP seeks to finance its goals with annual fees, donations, yields from activities and funding.
